Hi aspirant

Yes, they create a good environment to prepare any kind of exams.

The college has vast books in the library and students can refer anything of their choice.

You will have peace of mind and focus towards the work in the library for a good preparation of UPSC ESE.

ALL THE BEST!!

IES is considered as one of the toughest examinations in India. It is due to the difficulty related to the examination and also the selection procedure. Thereare less number of posts and more number of aspirants for IES every year. Although IES is difficult, it can be achieved by proper plan and execution of result oriented study.

In view of the vast syllabus and tough competition in IES, only a few candidates can get good ranks in their very first attempt. Majority of the candidates get good ranks in their 2nd or 3rd or higher attempts.

In terms of branch selection, there is no preferable branch if you want to take up IES exam. Choose a branch in accordance with you interest areas and talent and can prepare for the exam as per the UPSC schedule.

Whatever your core branch is, a versatile approach towards engineering can enhance your chances to qualify this exam.Like any other UPSC exam, this one also needs a dedicated and strategic preparation of 16–18 hours a day.

• Age Limit: The candidate must be 21 Years to 30 Years as on 01.04.2020 i.e. candidates must have been born between 02.04.1990 and 01.04.1999 (both dates inclusive)

• Educational Qualification: The candidate must be a graduate in any discipline from a recognized University or any equivalent qualification recognized as such by the Central Government. Those who are in the Final year/Semester of their Graduation may also apply provisionally subject to the condition that, if called for interview, they must produce proof of having passed the graduation examination on or before 01.07.2020. Candidates with Integrated Dual Degree (IDD) certificate must ensure that the date of passing the IDD is on or before 31.08.2020. Candidates with Chartered Accountant certification may also apply.

SBI PO Selection Procedure: Important Points

The candidates should keep in mind the following points related to the SBI PO selection process:

• Biometric Verification: To ensure an error-free and secure selection procedure for SBI PO 2020, the bank may digitally capture the thumb impression of the candidate. This is done to verify the genuineness of the candidates. Any inconsistency in the biometric verification will lead to rejection of the candidature and punitive legal actions. Candidates are thus advised not to apply any kind of external matter like ink, mehandi, chemical etc. on their hands.

• Number of Attempts: The maximum number of chances are fixed for each category. Candidates who have used up all the chances are not eligible to apply. Appearing in Preliminary Exam is not counted as an attempt but appearing in Mains Exam is counted.
